29th Week: Iron Deficiency!

:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•*
Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:

I’ve had a Iron deficiency since the
early weeks of my pregnancy but earlier this week I received a daunting letter
from my GP, informing me that that the iron deficiency has worsen. So, from
taking one iron tablet a day I’ve been bumped up to five iron tablets a day!

Until I started taking the five tablets
a day this week, I hardly noticed a reaction from the iron tablet but since
I’ve been taking five a day I have been feeling really unwell. I’ve been very
nauseas, sick, breathless and instead of feel a little bit stronger due to the
iron, I’m feel even more weak. I haven’t been able to talk to my GP about these
reactions yet but will do in the week ahead. In the meantime, if any of you
lovelies have had a similar experience with iron tablets please get in touch
and tell me if there’s anything I can do stop them or lessen them.

Due to my troublesome iron deficiency,
I haven’t been able to do much this week and most of the things I have done
have been from the comfort of my bed. The highlights of this week are very
simple but enjoyable and interesting. Here are some of them:

Throughout this week I’ve been really
enjoying bed-time with my wild child and if you would like to know what our
all-time children’s books are then clickity HERE.

Started getting Braxton Hicks this
week and I don’t like them. However when I got my first few this week I realised
I didn’t know what they exactly were so I decided to do some research and wow
did I find some interesting gen! Click HERE
to come and read about what I found.

I started to prepare for packing my
hospital bag and asked for your help in doing so, so please click HERE if you
would like to help me.

My unborn sprog has been causing me a
lot of discomfort this week; especially the sudden fierce movements have been
causing me pain especially when the pressure falls on my pelvic bone. He/she is
doing fine. My bumps getting ginormous by the day, I can’t see my feet!

Anyhow that’s my 29th iron
deficient week, how’s your week been and what have you been doing?
